The UK’s best schools for cricket have been revealed in The Cricketer’s Schools Guide 2026.
This year’s guide features the Top 25 State Schools, the Top 50 Prep and Junior Schools, the Top 20 all-girls schools for cricket, and The Cricketer’s top 100 cricketing independent schools in the country who have been judged on the same meticulous criteria.
St Lawrence College have been placed in the ‘Top 100 Cricket Schools in the UK’ in this prestigious guide for the sixth year running!.
“We coach and have provision for every single child, catering for those who have never picked up a bat before, right through to those who have played 2nd class cricket”
We are very proud of our inclusion and this achievement is testament to the hard work of the sports department, the dedication and encouragement of parents, and lastly, the effort and skill of every one of our talented St Lawrence College cricketers.
All school entries were judged against an extensive set of criteria, which included a ‘compelling commitment to cricket in the curriculum, fixture programmes and coaching‘.
Director of Sport at the School, Mr Seth Simmons, said: “I am very proud that we are recognised as one of the top 100 cricket schools in the UK. Wherever pupils are on their journey, we will progress them to the next stage of development. Here at St Lawrence College we are fortunate to have fantastic facilities, dedicated coaches and passionate pupils, all of which allow us to have success both on and off the sports field”
Through an extensive winter training programme led by Mr Jones we have continued to have success across both boys and girls cricket with many pupils representing Kent County Cricket Club Youth and above.
Head of Cricket, Mr Geraint Jones said “We have had lots of Kent Cricketers over the years and I am delighted to say that we have had five pupils go on to play International cricket within the last five years which is testimony to the programme that we have in place. I am delighted that our cricket programme is renowned to allow all pupils to flourish”.
